KRATOM: DOSAGE AND CONSUMPTION (Part 2)

“How do I take this stuff?” Methods of consumption are typically the next questions that people have about Kratom, following dosage and frequency concerns. Full disclosure: If you haven’t tried it yet, be warned that Kratom does not taste good. Things that are good for you rarely do. One of the Universe’s practical jokes. Kratom can be mixed or blended with any number of different beverages or foods, but the inherent bitterness insistently inundates and overpowers anything you add it to. Therefore, after much experimentation, we recommend chasing Kratom mixed in pure water with the beverage of your choice.

Unfortunately, there is just no effective way that we know of to make it more palatable. The tried-and-true “toss and wash” method (sometimes known as the “choke and gag” method) remains the “best” method, as grueling as it may be. Try not to focus on the bitterness - Focus on the positive results that enduring the bitter taste brings, and it will lessen over time. As with anything else, with continued use, eventually you “get used to it”. Another trick is to hold your nose as you drink it, so as to curtail your olfactory taste receptors. While this doesn’t absolutely guarantee ease of ingestion, it may help. Kratom capsules are one way to avoid the taste, but the results are never quite as immediate or as strong as when taking raw Kratom in its powdered form, mixed with pure water. Here’s a list of ideas for potential chasers, the ‘sugar that makes the medicine go down’, both liquid and solid: 1 Coffee (Hot or iced) 2 Tea (Hot or iced) 3 Fruit juice (Note: Citric acid may even intensify alkaloid absorption and stimulate faster endorphin and dopamine release) 4 Fruit 5 Honey 6 Chocolate or candy 7 Frozen or plain yogurt 8 Ice cream

9 Fruit sorbet or popsicles 10 Cinnamon applesauce 11 Milks, flavored or plain 12 Soda 13 Fruit punch or Kool-Aid 14 Lemonade or Limeade 15 Smoothies 16 Bakery goods (Cookies, brownies, etc.) 17 Flavored waters (Carbonated, sparkling, or still) Keep in mind that the idea here is to quickly cut the bitterness with something that has a stronger, more pleasant flavor, whether sweet or savory, liquid or solid. Feel free to get creative. Note that if you do choose a solid food item chaser, be sure to keep the portion as small as possible so as to allow for an empty stomach during the absorption phase of the Kratom. This is the condition under which Kratom works best and fastest, and it will typically suppress your appetite for several hours.
